A 53-year-old man was arrested for the sexual assault of a spouse or cohabitor in connection with an incident that took place in September.

Noel Brennan of New Canaan was taken into custody on a warrant about 1 p.m. Tuesday, by New Canaan Police following an investigation into a Sept. 12 incident in which police responded to his home for a medical call during a possible domestic incident.

"As a result of the information discovered during this medical call the New Canaan Police traveled to a residence on Richmond Hill Road to conduct an investigation regarding the information learned of a possible domestic dispute," wrote New Canaan police in a statement.

Details of the investigation were not released.

At the time of the September incident, Brennan was issued a summons at the scene for disorderly conduct and released on a promise to appear ticket.

The investigation into that incident eventually led to police obtaining a warrant on the sexual assault charge.
